How to Train Your Dog: How to Train Your Dog Damon Salvatore

All sports writers who have written the training manual agree that a young dog must be physically and spiritually developed before being trained. If this position is correct in relation to a one-sided dog, then all the more the presence of these qualities is necessary in relation to a varied gun dog, the training of which sets the teacher out of the ordinary tasks. Therefore, most authors are entirely correct in the opinion that a dog reaches maturity - the age suitable for training - on average at 12 months of age.Given this correct view, it is extremely strange that most writings on training and coaching treat the period of a young dog's life that precedes its entry into a training maturity, with a brevity worthy of the insignificance or insignificance of this period.In contrast to my predecessors, I am full of the conviction that the first year of a dog's life and the circumstances in which it occurs are not only "of great importance, but even much more important for the formation of the positive qualities of the animal than all other periods. Suffice it to recall to clarify this question that in the first year of life, the development of the bone skeleton ends, and the dog reaches its full growth. Consequently, the most important share of bodily development belongs to the first year of life.One of the basic requirements for the natural healthy development of a young animal's body is sufficient free movement. Nature never knows peace, even inside a living organism there is never stagnation; no, living movement constantly reigns there, shaped evolution, perhaps everything there moves, makes noise and pulsates.
